PhoneGap has a lot of tutorial already available which you can check from here:

http://wiki.phonegap.com/w/page/35501397/Tutorials

For simple helloworld though you can follow these steps:

• Open XCode and create a new project with "Cordova-based Application" template
• Give project name and Un-select the "Use Automatic Reference Counting"
• XCode will create a template project
• Run the application first time and it will generate the additional /www folder in the project directory
• Select the project and go to File -> Add Files to "your project" -> Select /www folder from project directory and add as a reference in project
• Re-run again and you should see the alert dialog saying "Cordova is working"
